Elder Ward and I just got back from our first meeting with our Young Single Adults leaders. Dad and I were given a group to be over in the other mission for home evenings each week and Elder Ward is over the mission leaders and I am to take care of teaching the YSA to give talks and lessons. It is really neat and we are excited.
Elder Ward and I were in the SuperMart today on our lunch hour and the check out girl asked about our name tags and we told her, she is from India and has recently come unto Christ in another church, Elder Ward asked her if she would like to know more about our church and she said yes so we got her name and phone number and gave it to the elders.
We are getting better in the office each day, we were alone today and we learned alot. Our trainers were busy getting ready to leave. They will be in tomorrow and some on Monday, we have a zone conference to go to so we won't have them much more because they leave on Tuesday. The Lord is really blessing us.
It is late and I am very tired. Hope all is well with you, I understand that you are having snow storms, we have had rain but the weather has been in the high 40's and low 50's.
Love to you all.
Elder and Sister Ward

I am sorry again for the long time in writing, I have been lost because we couldn't get the internet started and then my computer won't work.
It seems like years since we left home. The trip here was so nice and we love our apartment. The view is so wonderful, every morning we watch the pond way below our window and the ice now has completely melted.
The other night we had just gone to bed and we heard funny sounds from outside, I told Elder Ward that the seagulls sounded sick and then it dawned on us that the geese were coming in. They come in at night and they fly in in families. There are about 15 to 20 geese in the pond now and the people in our building say that in the summer you can see around 100 at a time. By the way, JON AND MATT, you know that goose picture that everyone hates, well, I would love to have it here, there are not many pictures on the walls and I could find a great place for it.
Our work is overwhelming, I seem to learn one thing and then there are 40 new things to learn, our trainers are leaving next Tuesday and Dad and I are trying to cram as much as we can in such a small time.
We had transfers this week and all the new Zone Leaders came in for a meeting yesterday and it was so wonderful seeing all these fine young men, when they were all in our office after their meeting you could feel the power and strength of the priesthood in the room. We go next week to some zone meetings with the President and it should be wonderful.
Tomorrow night Elder Ward and I meet with the new branch president and the other people who are there to help to see what he wants us to in our calling with the young adults.
Elder Ward and I are still having trouble finding our way around, sometimes our GPS gets screwed up as it did tonight; it took us twice as long to get home. It is hard to navigate for us because we do not have our beautiful mountains to help us know where north and south are, it is flat here.
Canada is a melting pot for all nationalities, Sunday at our meeting with the youth, it looked like the United Nations and it was so cool finding out where all of these young people came from.
We have a lot of people from India here and quite a few in our building. They are usually shy, but we talk to them in the elevator and then they loosen up and are laughing by the time we get to the bottom. We have met some really nice people in the elevator.
The drivers here are terrible, they will never let any one in, you have to push in everywhere you go and they go really fast, but because people can't afford cars there are not as many as would normally be on the road.
I will write more tomorrow night and not as much since I won't have to catch up on everything.
Love to you all.
